Pollinator Gardens.

Pollinator gardens are exactly what we need for pollinator conservation, and a happy future for all of our amazing pollinator species. The beautiful thing is that adding such natural gardens to our landscaping is really easy. Pollinator gardens can be chameleonized into many other motifs. A fairy garden can secretly double as a pollinator garden. Even a butterfly garden has nice crossover value.

If a person happens to be obsessed with fireflies or dragonflies, we can build them a “Firefly Garden” or a “Dragonfly Garden.” Those specialized plans will also support the more commonly considered pollinator species: our region’s bumblebees, Orchard Mason Bees, Solitary Nesting Bees, docile Pollinating Wasps and many other insects. Interestingly, most of our ecosystem’s native bee species are very docile. People are mistaken to fear being stung by the bees that will be drawn to a native plant composed Pollinator’s Garden. European Honeybees and Yellowjackets are the culprits nearly 100% of the time when humans or pets are stung in the gardens.
